“I was found by those who did not seek me, and I was made manifest to those who did not ask for me.”

Will God not then hear us who call on him, seek him, and ask for him? Scripture reminds us to ask, seek and knock, so that we may receive good gifts from God, that we may find hope to wait patiently on the Lord, and that doors God prepared for us to walk through will be opened. But, because of God’s goodness and mercy, there are many who do not call on God, yet he blesses them, to bring them to remembrance that he is the giver of all good things. He said, “All day long, I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” How much more then, would our Heavenly Father give to us, who are walking in his way, when we ask, seek, and knock? He says to call on him and he will answer you, that he is a rewarder of the faithful, that no good thing will he withhold from those who love him and keep his commandments, and that whoever calls on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Praise the Lord!
